The UTV market is growing once again. Polaris just launched their most ambitious vehicle to date. Introducing the 2017 RZR XP Turbo EPS and RXR XP Turbo 4 EPS.

More horsepower equals bigger sand roosts.

The new Polaris RXR features a brand new ProStar Turbo High Output 4-stroke dual overhead cam (DOHC) twin cylinder motor that takes the vehicle straight to the top of the UTV specifications race. The 925cc engine slams out 168 horsepower, the new RZRs have only 6 less horsepower than a Honda Civic. The motor has 15 percent more power than the 2016 model and is 9 percent over everything else in the UTV market.

To handle the extra power of the new high output motor, POlaris bumped the sizes of everything.

To support the higher horsepower, the entire system have been upgrade. A stronger drivetrain was designed and installed to handle the extra grunt as well as a 20 percent larger radiator.

Up front, both 2 seat and 4 seat models feature 2.5-inch diameter shocks with 24-position adjustable remote reservoirs and increased fluid capacity. The rear features 3-inch diameter body shocks with the same adjustability so the ride can be custom tailored to the driver and terrain. There are five compression zones that allow the suspension to react accordingly to various size bumps, dips or obstacles in the road.

Both the 2 seat and 4 seat variations utilize a dual A-arm independent suspension system up front to garner 16-inches of wheel travel while the rear uses a trailing arm system to get 18-inches of travel. Both front and rear of the RZR benefit from a specifically designed stabilizer bar for flat cornering. Electronic power steering is standard.

Behind the 29-inch diameter, Maxxis Bighorn tires and cast aluminum wheels is a full set of hydraulic disc brakes with triple-bore front and dual-bore rear calipers. The transmission is an automatic Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT), which is Polaris’ version of a constantly variable transmission (CVT). The Polaris design offers a high-performance true on-demand all-wheel drive and two-wheel drive system.

The new digital display covers all the bases and then some.

The interior of the RZR XP Turbo and Turbo 4 sports a new digital gauge cluster, speedometer, odometer, tech and so much more. The system even utilizes gauges for the coolant temperature, volts, fuel and hours. The seats are bolstered high back buckets with front seat sliders and rear height adjustable seat belts.
